Urszula Młynarska's patient case

Anterior crowns on teeth 12, 11, 21, 22. Made up of VITA VMK Master®

Initial situation

Step 2

Metal framework with reduced vestibular margin for the ceramic shoulder.

Step 3

The fired opaque layer. The ceramic shoulder was built up using fluorescent MARGIN material. Shade 2R2.5, MARGIN material M3.

Step 4

Luminary material: these materials offer similar fluorescence to MARGIN material. The layering in the margin area is approx 2 mm thick. In the tooth neck area, a mixture of LM2 LUMINARY material (sand shades) and LM3 (yellow) is used, the central area is filled using LM3, and the edges coated with LM1 (white).

Step 5

Luminary effect after firing.

Step 6

Translucent layer before application of the ENAMEL material. The irregular surface gives the incisal area a natural appearance.

Step 7

Step 8

Corrective firing: The neck area is masked using CERVICAL material, the central area with TRANSLUCENT (white) material, and finally, the incisal edge with a mixture of ENAMEL, TRANSLUCENT and DENTINE materials.

Step 9

Crowns after firing for the second time: marginal ridges and the surface structure are made visible with a pencil and silver powder.

Step 10

The crowns directly following cementation.

Step 11

Shape and functionality: the progression of the upper incisal edges matches those of the lower jaw.

Step 12

Natural surface shine: Restorations veneered using VMK Master® meet the expectations of the practitioner and the patient.
